Here is some reading on the subject. Seems there is little if any benefit to turning it on. http://pocketnow.com/2012/05/25/what-is-force-gpu-rendering-in-ice-cream-sandwich/

There is a significant advantage to having it on. Lol..... Do a benchmark and watch your fps during 2d test. Lol!

3g speeds

Okay there are a lot of these on here but I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing significantly faster upload speeds than download? I used to have equal speeds but lately its been 1 or 2 hundred down and 8 hundred up. Anyone know why?
boom!! from my shooter
i know what yu mean i uploaded like two whole photos albums of my vacation in like 2 minutes but my downloads are slow as heck im in seattle
I'm outside of la but yeah it's been ridiculous sometimes I get over 1000 up and like 96 down.
boom!! from my shooter
Ya I thought my phone was crazy but I guess.its not just my phone.
I had the same problem, until I contact sprint and ask them to reset my data and voice service and my phone work like when bought it!

How to Watch Sprint's Strategy/Network Meeting LIVE

http://briefmobile.com/how-to-listenwatch-sprints-strategynetwork-meeting-tomorrow
The meeting can be accessed two different ways:
Call-In – Call 1-888-393-1149 and use 6395937 as your ID. Make sure you call in about 10 minutes ahead of time to be sure there no problems for getting though. This way is not recommended for most.
Webcast – Go to here, like the “Webcast” link and register. Now you are watching it live! The webcast should start promptly at 9:30am. Remember to join ten minutes ahead of time. This is the way I recommend. (Mainly because it’s easy to watch at work or in class.)
Cool.
Setting myself up to be disappointed & somewhat satisfied.
My basic concern is experiencing a noticeable & noteworthy no no... Make that a hat tipping, river dancing difference in 3G performance, the 800Mhz band & current Wimax reliability during the roll out of this.

I expect the best actually. Sprint has been drastically improving their network in most of the larger areas. Network Vision has had a smooth progression through the states. They haven't enabled it fully yet, but it'll come in the next year or so. We'll get more detail tomorrow morning.

MOST is key word there as they have still left out Raleigh, NC which typically is one of the first to get stuff along with Atl, and Charlotte.

From my long awaited and totally worth it EVO LTE!
Anyone actually using the settings in developer options? I have "show touches" currently checked. It might sound stupid but I like seeing where the phone thinks I touch.
Do show screen updates or.whatever its cool but not recommend if you have epilepsy
Also I have force 2d rendering lol

Any way to edit the stock app drawer loading time?

I've been noticing that whenever I'm done using an app and I click the app drawer it lags a little. And when you go back to it, it comes up instantly...I was wondering if there was a way to edit that? It just really annoys me...

I think this is a cache/memory issue. I think it's unloading the memory used to open the drawer, and when you come back to it it rebuilds it, hence the lag. There must be a way to keep it from doing that.

getting a phone next week

And it'll be the Evo LTE or the SGSIII.
I have handled both and like the Evo more. (rocking a Photon currently)
My one question: is there a RELIABLE AND BUG FREE workaround yet for the botched multi-tasking??
If not, I think that will ruin my experience.
Thanks.
Nope, even with everything I've tried it is still crwp when compared to other phones I've owned, specially stock android 4.1.

Wow, not good. You have tried the custom ROMs that are available with the supposed tweaks to fix this?
Thanks.
I haven't noticed it at all. I can leave an application and go back into it 10+ minutes later and it's still where I left off.

I tried multiple roms and so far it seems there is no fix.
For example I was on the web browser. Backed out with the home key to go to home screen. I then went to settings to change my display settings went back to browser and the whole page had to reload and refresh.
My GS2 and Galaxy Nexus was better then this phone in the performance department.
Not to mention after you start installing apps and setting up your home screens the phone just gets slower and slower and less snappy.

Yep. It's bad.
Bad enough that my lte is sitting in a drawer as I use an alpha cm9 build on my evo 3d. Multitasking, background downloads stopping, and overall sluggishness compared to stock drove me away.

Jelly Bean will be running on the LTEVO any day now, which will mitigate the multi-tasking issue. With that said, I've tried both and the LTEVO was the clear winner for me. The Galaxy is way too plasticy for me.

The multitasking will get better with AOSP, I think. Actually, is it possible its because of the s4? Could anyone else using a phone with s4 respond to this? Much thanks.

Nope. Just this phone. I returned this phone due to crappy gps, lag and horrible multi tasking. Having to keep my screen on to download something was unacceptable. I'm on a s3 now and xda app was still on the last Page I viewed yesterday evening and I've played a few games and run a few other apps. Gps is best I've ever experienced on a phone. Hard to say that and Samsung in same sentence lol
One thing I miss is reception though
